DESCRIPTION

This RFP seeks a qualified vendor to perform a strategic development opportunities analysis focused on identifying and evaluating existing and emerging industrial sectors with the potential to generate cargo for the port and the broader region. The analysis should particularly consider the potential of energy products, such as oil and related products, as key sectors for cargo expansion.

Vendors will be responsible for incorporating findings from a recently completed study on containerized trade and assessing potential cargo types across geographic hinterland and foreland regions. The project requires estimates of preliminary cargo volumes and market potential, as well as an analysis of synergies among port assets and those within the greater region.

Further, the provider will conduct an assessment of opportunity attractiveness versus execution complexity and gauge opportunity readiness and likelihood. A high-level implementation roadmap and recommended next steps are to be delivered as part of the final analysis.
